==History== [[File:Fisher college ny postcard 1973.jpg|thumb|left|Aerial view of the JFC campus in 1973]] St. John Fisher University (originally St. John Fisher College) was founded as a men's college in 1948 by the [[Congregation of St. Basil|Basilian Fathers]] and with the aid of [[James E. Kearney]], then the Bishop of the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester|Diocese of Rochester]]. It is now operated as an coeducational independent institution in the [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] tradition (independent since 1968; coeducational since 1971). In 2015, St. John Fisher College applied for and received the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the New England Resource Center for Higher Education (NERCHE).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/newsroom/news-releases/carnegie-selects-colleges-universities-2015-community-engagement-classification/|title=Carnegie Selects Colleges and Universities for 2015 Community Engagement Classification|work=Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching|date=7 January 2015|access-date=14 September 2015|archive-date=23 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923221502/http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/newsroom/news-releases/carnegie-selects-colleges-universities-2015-community-engagement-classification/|url-status=live}}</ref> The college was listed as a census-designated place in 2020, with a residential population of 1,307.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=1600000US3664606|title=St. John Fisher College CDP, New York|access-date=2022-10-18|archive-date=2022-10-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221018163519/https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=1600000US3664606|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2022, the college was renamed St. John Fisher University.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Linton|first=Jacob|url=https://www.whec.com/rochester-new-york-news/nys-approves-name-change-to-st-john-fisher-university/6500054/?cat=565|title=NYS approves name change to St. John Fisher University|website=[[WHEC-TV]]|date=14 June 2022|access-date=2022-06-20|archive-date=2022-06-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220620092627/https://www.whec.com/rochester-new-york-news/nys-approves-name-change-to-st-john-fisher-university/6500054/?cat=565|url-status=live}}</ref>
